Ear Infection: If you have a bacterial Ear Infection, you need to see a doctor. Your health comes first. You will need to prioritize your health and go to urgent care or a doctor's office. They will discuss your finance concerns and will likely work with you. There is no way of treating you on line.

Things to ponder: There are no home treatment methods that do anything but provide some comfort. (Ibuprofen)You can wait this out, like they had to before antibiotics. If you do it may heal in 6-8 weeks.It may also erode into the bone under your ear (mastoid) and send you to the hospital for urgent surgery. It may also cause your ear bones to freeze up & reduce your hearing. You need to get seen in person.
